It's very much in the same spirit as Pillars. Even longer, too. I’ll be very interested to hear what you think of World Without End when you get to it. It’s very much in the same spirit as Pillars.

I just finished off the unabridged audio book (all 40 hours of it!), and really, really enjoyed it. The characters were very well-developed and the story was entertaining all the way through.
